WTF Monster in the Archives???

Hi,

I finished the game a few weeks ago and the first Monster I ever "met" was the invisible ghost thingy, at least I think it was the first.

Now I am on my 2nd playthrough, just visited the secret room in the archives and thought I can run around a little because there is no monster for a while, just noises and stuff and suddenly when I'm in the room where you have to break the window a monster appears right behind me...

Well, didn't try to run, just took the cowards way out, Esc and End game ^^ but my question is, why is there a monster when there wasn't in the first playthrough? Are they planted randomly in some way or is there always one at this point and I just missed it the first time?

Well i had a short glance on a grunt there, too! I finished everything you need to do and noticed the piano play you are hearing at some points.. and i was just curious and followed the sound "someone must be there, pianos don't play on their own!". When i entered the Window Gallery (the long room with the big windows and high ceiling) i just saw him wandering away from the Piano into the corridor leading to the exit of the Archives. Man i was so scared to go there and leave Big Grin but he was gone after that short encounter.

Maybe you disturbed one of his music-sessions, too Tongue

Oh, I never saw that one...
I thought that the piano was just part of my insanity going low. Tongue

I think monster spawning is a little randomized. I know if you die the enemy locations change, may be the same idea with a new game.

Yes it does. It proves that the monster has it's "hallucination" flag ticked, thus will disappear when it gets too near to the player, thus it's not a real encounter. Big Grin

In the end, that makes my comment to be "right". Tongue
